Public Engagement and Political Will Building

It is critical that states and communities build broad and diverse constituencies to support investment in comprehensive early childhood systems.

Strategic communications can be used to increase understanding of the requirements and benefits of such a system. Stakeholders, including parents, should be engaged in leading, planning, evaluating, and improving the comprehensive early childhood system.
